The question asked, verbatim: best webinar platforms for agencies

Brands named, in the order the engine gave

1. Zoho mentioned
   Very few do this well - a marketing agency's complaint thread on Zoho's forum is the canonical version of this pain: no sub-accounts, confirmation emails going out from the agency's domain instead of the client's, and any cohost able to start the broadcast early (Zoho community (https://help.zoho.co
2. Livestorm recommended
   Livestorm - My default recommendation for agency work.
3. Demio mentioned
   Demio - Best pick if the webinars are lead-gen funnels and your clients are SMB/mid-market.
4. BigMarker mentioned
   BigMarker - The one to go to when branding is the requirement, not a nice-to-have.
5. EverWebinar compared
   ~$49/mo entry, and it reviews far better than EverWebinar (4.9 vs 3.9 on G2).
6. G2 compared
   ~$49/mo entry, and it reviews far better than EverWebinar (4.9 vs 3.9 on G2).

   ON24 or Goldcast - Only if your clients are enterprise B2B and the deliverable is pipeline attribution, not attendance.
8. Goldcast mentioned
   ON24 or Goldcast - Only if your clients are enterprise B2B and the deliverable is pipeline attribution, not attendance.
9. Salesforce mentioned
   Goldcast if the client runs ABM and wants webinar engagement pushed into Salesforce/Marketo as scorable signals.
10. DesignRush mentioned
    (DesignRush roundup (https://www.designrush.com/agency/digital-marketing/trends/best-webinar-software))
11. Zoom mentioned
    Zoom Webinars - The boring, correct answer when the client already pays for Zoom and just needs 2,000 people to reliably see a thing.

The answer, as recorded

## For agencies specifically The thing that separates "good webinar platform" from "good webinar platform *for an agency*" is whether you can run many clients' events from one login without the attendee ever seeing your agency's brand. Very few do this well - a marketing agency's complaint thread on Zoho's forum is the canonical version of this pain: no sub-accounts, confirmation emails going out from the agency's domain instead of the client's, and any cohost able to start the broadcast early ([Zoho community](https://help.zoho.com/portal/en/community/topic/zoho-webinar-hard-for-agencies)). Assume you'll have to test this specific workflow before signing anything. **1. Livestorm** - My default recommendation for agency work. Browser-based (no attendee downloads, which kills a real chunk of your show-up rate), clean registration pages, strong team/workspace permissions, and good automated follow-up. Free tier plus Pro around $89/mo for up to 1,000 attendees, so you can pilot on one client before committing. ([Livestorm pricing overview](https://www.authencio.com/blog/livestorm-pricing-compare-plans-save-on-your-summit)) **2. Demio** - Best pick if the webinars are lead-gen funnels and your clients are SMB/mid-market. Highest polish on the live engagement side (polls, handouts, CTAs mid-session), and the analytics map cleanly onto "who do we retarget." Starts around $59/mo, Enterprise ~$799. Weaker on client-level white labeling. ([Demio/Livestorm comparison](https://emelia.io/de/hub/best-webinar-software-platforms)) **3. BigMarker** - The one to go to when branding is the requirement, not a nice-to-have. Genuine white-label customization and heavy automation/series features; it's the most common answer for agencies that need each client's events to look like the client's own product. Starter ~$79/mo up to Elite ~$299/mo, with white-label concentrated in the higher/enterprise tiers. ([BigMarker pricing](https://www.creatorstackclub.com/software/bigmarker/pricing)) **4. eWebinar** - Not for live events at all; it's for turning one recorded session into an always-on, on-demand funnel with real-time chat handoff. Enormously useful for agency margins, because you produce once and bill for an evergreen asset. ~$49/mo entry, and it reviews far better than EverWebinar (4.9 vs 3.9 on G2). ([G2 comparison](https://www.g2.com/compare/everwebinar-vs-ewebinar)) **5. ON24 or Goldcast** - Only if your clients are enterprise B2B and the deliverable is pipeline attribution, not attendance. ON24 for the demand-gen reporting depth; Goldcast if the client runs ABM and wants webinar engagement pushed into Salesforce/Marketo as scorable signals. Expect enterprise pricing and annual contracts. ([DesignRush roundup](https://www.designrush.com/agency/digital-marketing/trends/best-webinar-software)) **6. Zoom Webinars** - The boring, correct answer when the client already pays for Zoom and just needs 2,000 people to reliably see a thing. You lose the marketing layer, so you'll bolt on your own landing pages and email. Lowest friction to get approved by a client's IT. **7. WebinarJam / EverWebinar** - High-pressure sales close with a built-in pitch/offer toolkit. It converts, and some info-product and coaching clients specifically ask for it. I'd rank it lower because reliability complaints are persistent and the aesthetic reads as "internet marketer," which can be wrong for a brand-sensitive client. ~$79-$199/mo depending on commitment length. ([EverWebinar pricing](https://costbench.com/software/webinar-software/everwebinar/)) **Skip unless there's a reason:** GoTo Webinar (fine, dated, training-oriented) and Zoho Webinar (cheapest, but per the thread above, actively painful for multi-client work). ## My actual advice Pick **two**: Livestorm or BigMarker for live client events, plus eWebinar for evergreen. That covers ~90% of agency webinar requests and the combined cost is under $200/mo at entry tiers. One caveat on the numbers above: webinar pricing is scraped from comparison sites that are heavily SEO-farmed and go stale fast, and white-label is almost always gated to a tier higher than the marketing page implies. Verify on the vendors' own pricing pages, and on the sales call ask exactly one question: *"Can I run ten clients with separate branding, separate sending domains, and separate admin permissions - and what does that cost?"* The answer sorts this list faster than any feature matrix.
